  Speaker 2: got Jags and Ravens on Westwood 1. You can hear
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: that game right here on 93.3 KJR FM, 515 kickoff
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Pacific time. Ross will be on the call. Then he'll
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: be with the Broncos and the Panthers. That's a good
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: game on Sunday. CBS as well. Man, you've got a
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: busy weekend. How are you, my friend?
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I am doing awesome.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: I'm in a car on my way to Baltimore right now,
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: ready for phase one.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Phase one of two this weekend. Are you playing quarterback
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: for the Ravens?
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: No, I'm not, although it's unfortunate because I had the
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Ravens and the Bills on Sunday for CBS, and so
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson getting hurt on the first play is kind of,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: coming back to bite me twice he got me uh
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: that that injury got me sunday for the rest of
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: that game which you can appreciate this ian i mean
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: that was probably going to be you know the biggest
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: or coolest game.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I've called you know oh yeah lamar.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Jackson mvp and the ravens josh allen mvp and the
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: bills and unfortunately it's the worst part of football that
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: people get injured and so It wasn't meant to be.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Had to adjust. That's part of broadcasting as well. But
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: now I'm ready. Now I'm ready for tonight, certainly.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: And thankfully, I'm a big Pennsylvania guy, so I already
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: am very familiar with Joe Finiano, and I like the
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: fact that the Ravens have traded for Jacoby Brissett. He
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: won't play tonight, but at least the mindset, I feel like,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: that the message it sends to the rest of the team,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I think, is a good one.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I was just going to ask you, as we look
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: around the league, there's, I mean, Minnesota, the Giants, Seattle.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to go through the list. Tampa had issues. Atlanta, Arizona, Washington.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Mariota has played. Philadelphia, that's three-quarters of the NFC alone
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: have had quarterback injuries so far this year, and I'm
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: looking through about half of the AFC. So we're looking
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: at well over half the league has had that. Is
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: this a strange year? I know that they want to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: protect the quarterbacks, and then people get mad when they
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: do protect the quarterbacks, but boy, Ross, the most important
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: position in sports is taking a beating this year.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: I don't really think it's that different than other years.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: And maybe it is.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I think maybe Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts being out
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: for the year, that's probably a little bit different.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Than what we're used to. I do feel like on
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: some level, though.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Every year there's some station I go on or someone says, Man,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I feel like.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: There's more quarterback injuries than usual.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: So I do think that there are quarterback injuries every year.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: I do think that they try very hard to keep
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: guys healthy, but it's not easy. I mean, that's the
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: goal of the other team is to try to hit
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: the quarterback as hard as they can. Obviously, you guys
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: are seeing that with Sam Darnold now out a second
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: time with a different injury.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: You know, the way I always look at it, Ian,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: is it just makes... a guy like Josh Allen, all
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: the more impressive.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, Monday night will be his 144th consecutive start,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: which is.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Just insane when you watch the way he plays. You know,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: you can almost see that if it was Tom Brady
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: or Peyton Manning.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: But with the way Josh Allen plays, there's no way
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: he should have been able to play in this many
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: games in a row.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Just, I mean... You need a little bit of luck,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: as you know, as a former player. But you also,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, the way he's put together and how physical
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: he is. But it is remarkable because it's not like
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: he just stands back there and gets hit like some guys.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: He takes– hell, he initiates contact, doesn't he, Ross? Like
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: that guy initiates contact.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: He dishes it out.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: And he told me in one of these games that
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: this is the lightest he's been in the NFL. Wow.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: He's only 233. Only 231 pounds, although only, I guess,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: is relative. That's still pretty big. But yeah, I do
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: think there's something to sort of his mentality and him
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: attacking them rather than letting them attack him.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I think there's something to that.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I look back, you know, your co-worker at CBS, as
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: you were saying that, I had to look it up
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: because I was pretty sure this was the case. You know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Russell Wilson in his 10 years in Seattle, he didn't
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: miss a game until his 10th year. And he missed
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: two that year. I mean, Russ was, I always, that
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: was one thing with, you know, we can all say
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: what we want to say about Russ out here and
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: how things end and all that. That dude was a warrior.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I covered a couple games. I covered a game in
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: LA once where he had, his ankle was done. And
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: that dude, he, you know what, what I loved about him,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: he taped up both ankles. So when he's warming up,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: like heavily taped. So like, even though the Rams knew
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: which one it was, he's trying to trick them. Like
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: he's always, but, but that dude played through a lot
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: of stuff. It's just hard. Like, I mean, you know,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: there's a difference between what being hurt and an injury, right?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: There's a, there is a difference like, like Sam Donald
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: can't play. And that's a little different than say a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: soft tissue. Maybe you can try to fight through it,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: but there is a difference. You went through it. I'm
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: sure during your career.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's the thing.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: That's part of the reason why I said on today's
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Ross Tucker football podcast how much I love the trade
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: for Jacoby Brissett for the Ravens. I understand that there
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: are probably some fans that are saying, listen, we're not
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: going to make the Super Bowl anyway. You know, we
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: might as well lose and get a better draft pick.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, you know, there's really not that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Much evidence that picking eighth instead of fifth or 12th
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: instead of ninth is really that much of a difference.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Right. You know, a lot of times, you know, it's
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: kind of a crapshoot. We all know that that's number one.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: And then number two, though, you're asking guys to go
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: out there and put their body on the line. You're
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: asking guys to play with injuries and play in pain
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: to not at least give them a chance to win
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: A realistic chance. I think that really.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Erodes the trust between an organization and a player.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: You know, the culture of the franchise.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: I like the move by the Ravens quite a bit
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: to bring in Brissette because he's good enough that they
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: could go on a run and they can still make
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: the playoffs and feel like they have a shot at
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: this thing. Although now I'm actually curious. now that you
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: kind of referenced it, what is sort of the... If
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I was walking around Seattle and asking them about Russell Wilson,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: what would be the common sentiment?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: It didn't end well. I think the... there's still the
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: great appreciation. I think if you talk to a real fan,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: a great appreciation for what he did, this team doesn't. And, and,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: you know, I I'll, I'll tell you why in a second,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: but I mean, I've been critical of the guys that
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: covered the team, you know, every day and on the road,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: like I did back then. And others would, would tell
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: you there's some things behind the scenes that he did. And,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you know, that, I mean, he flat out tried to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: get both John and Pete fired and went up to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Jody and said that he got some people let go
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: in the, Strength, conditioning, nutrition, staff, things like that. But
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: that was at the end of his career. They don't
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: win in 2013 without Russell Wilson. I mean, if you
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: just look back at some of the games, some of
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: the plays he made, they don't get to the Super
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Bowl in 2014. We know what happened, but they don't
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: get there without the heroics against Green Bay. And someday
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: he'll be truly welcomed back, I think, in this town.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: When he was traded, it was just, it was time. Ross,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: it was just time. It was just time to move on.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: The Russell Wilson experience wasn't just Russ, the quarterback, the
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: humble kid out of North Carolina State and Wisconsin anymore.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: It had changed. There was an entourage. We don't deal
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: with that stuff out here very well, but I think
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: there's an appreciation for Russ. I would say this. He's
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: probably underappreciated, in a sense, from that Super Bowl championship
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: team and so forth because of the LOB and what
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: that defense was and all the big personalities. And I think, unfortunately,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: he gets a little bit of the blame, too, for
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: what happened on that ill-fated play against the Patriots. And
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: you can make an argument all day long, back and forth,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: whether it was okay to throw there. It just wasn't
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: okay to throw that ball and worry through it. But
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I think he's a very complicated figure in Seattle sports history,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: is what I'd say.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Interesting. Yeah, I was just curious, just kind of the
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: way you had said that.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: I always kind of wondered that. Because, obviously, I mean,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: it took them to unprecedented heights.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and he did. And we're just talking
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: about this. If you don't have the quarterback, it's really
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: hard to get to those heights along the way. And
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: we're dealing with it here right now. I want to,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: as a Bill Belichick would always say, it's time to
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: move on to Arizona, time to move on to the
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: next game. But I do want to get your thoughts
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: just in general. uh last monday seattle and and chicago
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: and chicago had a dominant win over seattle this is
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: a week after seattle has a dominant win over kansas
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: city what do you what are your takeaways for both
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: the bears as far as what they look like in
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the nfc and the seahawks after a great week and
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: then not such a great week what are your takeaways
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: from those two teams.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. I mean, I'll start with the Bears.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: They look awesome. They're loaded.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: They're doing the right thing, which is they have a
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: really talented young quarterback on a rookie contract. So they
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: are going their goal for it. And it's not just him.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: You know, Luther Burden, Colston Loveland. They have a bunch
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: of guys that look like core players that they are
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: going to want to extend and pay big money to.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: That are on rookie contracts. And so they're trying to
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: maximize that by going out and getting Jeffrey Simmons. And
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: everybody saw what I had seen calling a bunch of
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Titans games the last couple years. That that guy is
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: absolute hell on wheels. And you better be ready to roll.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: So I think it's not just the fact that they
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: got him. I think.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: and what he does inside the white lines, I think
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: every bit as impressive is what it does for the
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: locker room, what it does for sort of the psyche
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: of the team.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: You know, hey, they believe in us. They think we
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: can really do something.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: And just the swagger that the defense went out there with,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: they got a real shot at this thing.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: There's no question.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: And then conversely, you know, for the Seahawks, That was rough.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: That was rough on a lot of levels. It felt
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: like the Bears came in there to make a statement,
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: whereas it felt like the Seahawks were still sort of
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: happy about how well they had played the week before
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: against the Chiefs and stuffing Kenneth.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Walker and winning that game.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: It just didn't feel like they were ready to roll,
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: and the Bears were, and we saw the results. The
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Bears are coming off a Thursday night game, so they
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: had extra time to rest, extra time to prepare. they
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: brought in Jeffrey.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Simmons and felt like Seattle ran into a little bit
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: of a buzzsaw there.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: And also, Darnold was hurt early, and I think that
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: affected him. He never looked comfortable in the pocket. Felt
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: like he was always a little jitterish, and that's not.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: A good way to play.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Walk us through an NFL practice. They kick us out
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: after about five minutes, and I say five minutes after
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: basically some stretching starts. So we have no idea in
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: season how really under Pete and certainly under Mike McDonald,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: what takes place in terms of reps. But right now,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Drew Locke is listed as limited. I don't think there's
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: any doubt that his elbow is a significant problem.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: He's been the No.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: 3 guy the last two weeks, inactive, emergency quarterback only.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Unlike when Darnold got hurt the first time this year,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: they did not bring a third quarterback in. They did
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: this week. They brought in the Martinez kid, I think,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: from Kansas State or wherever he's from, from the UFL,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: to be in there with Jalen Milrow and Locke. Locke
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: was limited, and who knows what that means. So what
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: does a practice look like in terms of reps for
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: these two quarterbacks? You've been it, you've seen it, and
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: how troubling is that if you've got a quarterback that
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: isn't taking a lot of reps in practice this week,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: and you're maybe hoping he still plays if that elbow
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: feels better?
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Well, the good news, I would say, is that Locke
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: has been there for a while and has played already
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: this year, and they.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Probably have a real comfort level with what.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: He'll give them, and his offensive acumen in the new system.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: I will say, though, you know, the best guys I've
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: been around, they like to practice. They want to practice.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: You know, Tom Brady wanted those reps. I've heard Peyton
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Manning wanted those reps. They want every single rep they can.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Depending on the team, the starter gets all of them,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: or maybe the number two guy gets one. But, you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: the starter's not getting hit, so there's no real threat
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: there of injury. And then it's a situation where you
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: want to make sure you only get, a lot of times,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: one look at this play against that defense, and you
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: want to make sure the guy gets the look. So
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: it's heavily, heavily weighted to the starting quarterback situation. But
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know where Drew's elbow is or if he
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: can even take those reps. That's the part of it
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: that I think is really, really fascinating in this situation.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: By the way, I don't know if you saw, but
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I think I just saw that they released it.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: But next week, I've got Raider Seahawks for CBS.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, nice.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: I didn't know that.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Good. Yeah, that'll be awesome.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: That'll be a real deep dive into that.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Into the Seahawks next week. We'll see. What are you
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: hearing in terms of Darnold's injury and just how bad
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: it is?
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Well, the thing is, here's the odd thing. This is where, again,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I hate when I hear people and there's a couple
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: national media guys going, oh, it's a soft benching. I
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: hate that because here are the things that jumped out
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: at me. And I mentioned the third quarterback they're bringing
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: in on the practice squad so he can do the
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: practice squad or the scout team reps. And honestly, they'll
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: probably elevate him on game day if they're worried at
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: all about about locks elbow and mill row. You don't
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: want to be left in the lurch. But the thing
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: that's odd is, so McDonald comes out yesterday and he says, unprompted, unprompted,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: he says, yeah, Sam's out this week. He got hurt.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: He got hurt. He got hit on that first play
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: or the second play of the game, Kyler Gordon's blitz,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: and he smoked him. That rib injury, I think you're right.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I think that affected him during the game. But he
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: said the real injury was the quad, and that happened
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: on the last play of the game. Ross, there's no
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: reason for them to announce he's out. like on Wednesday,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: especially because if they would have just said DNP quad,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: we would have said, okay, well, he's hurt. And that happens,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: and you don't worry about a practice report until you
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: get to Friday. So I thought it was odd. Maybe
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: it's a little more severe than normal, and I just
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: thought the whole thing seemed odd. Why would they offer
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: that up? There's been a lot of guys that didn't play,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: but we don't find out they're not playing until Friday.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: So that part's kind of interesting to me.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: You know, I guess the thought process is usually when
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: it's the starting quarterback, that has a way of leaking
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: out anyway.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right. And maybe they wanted to get ahead of it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: You know, some receiver or O-lineman tells their agent, the
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: agent wants to curry favor with Schefter or Rappaport, so
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: they tell them, you know. Usually when it's the quarterback
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: gets out anyway, but I understand your point.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: That is interesting, and that would be something I might
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: ask Mike next week.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: And that's why we have you on. You get to
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: talk to Mike next week. All right, a couple quick
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: thoughts before they go. I know you've got to get
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: out of here. Your game tonight, Jags and the Ravens.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: We talked about Baltimore with the quarterback situation. And, hey,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: they're 4-4. It's not like this team is sitting there
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: at 2-6. They're 4-4, but they have a really good
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville team coming in. And Trevor Lawrence playing at a
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: high level. What are you looking for tonight as we
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: take a listen here on Westwood One with your call
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: tonight here on KJR?
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Well, I do think it'll end up being closer than
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: what people think. It's a Thursday night game. The Ravens
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: are the home team. You know, Finiano's getting whatever reps
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: they have this week. The plan is for him, whatever
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: his skill set is. So, and you know, there is
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: something there with psychologically, you know, when teams maybe don't
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: play their best, when they are going against a backup quarterback,
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: or in this case, third string quarterback.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: So that's certainly.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: An aspect of it that I'm going to be keeping
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: my eyes on is just exactly what they get out of, you.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Know, the Jaguars.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: But they have a really, really good team. They looked
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: awesome on Sunday. I think the Jaguars eventually pull away,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: but I don't think it's a blowout.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Final thing for you, I know you're not on the call,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: but I'm just looking at the schedule. Bills and Vikings,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: you've done a lot of Bills games. 6-1 Buffalo, 6-1 Minnesota.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Carson Wentz is going to be the starting quarterback on Monday.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think that takes too much of the luster away.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: A competent guy along the way. That's a heavyweight title
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: fight on a Monday night football. What are your thoughts there?
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Awesome. Yeah, I mean, nice job by the NFL schedule guys.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: Two best records.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: You've got the best offense against the best defense. and
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: obviously Wentz being.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Out there instead of Kyler Murray certainly adds a little
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: intrigue to this thing.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: I saw, we'll talk to you next week, getting ready
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: for Seahawks Raiders. If you missed it, Ross is on
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: that call for CBS next week. He's got a terrific
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: game this week, though, as well. with the Cardinals and
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: the Broncos and the Panthers, I should say, on CBS.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: But you'll hear them right here on KGR. You get
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: double duty on KGR tonight with us, and then 5.15
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Pacific time, Jags and Ravens. Have a great call. We'll
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: talk to you next week, Ross. Tell folks about where
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: they can find you on social media and all the
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: fun stuff you've got going on.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you so much, Ian. Really appreciate it. Always
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: at Ross Tucker NFL. We'll see you. We'll see what
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: the Ravens' press box food is. For big games, they
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: usually have crab cakes. I don't know if this is
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: considered a big game. It's a primetime game. Maybe in
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: honor of Joe Fignano, it'll be something Italian.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: We'll see. I love it.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: They've got a great Italian district down there in Baltimore, too,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: so go check that out. All right, my friend. We'll
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: talk to you soon. Thanks, Ross.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: See you.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: That's Ross.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Tucker.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I love having him on every week, and huge thanks
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: to our friends at Northwest Handling Systems, our friend Eric
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Gordon and company. We were able to get Ross on
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: every week this season, and those guys do a terrific job.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: They do a lot of stuff for our radio station, nwhs.com,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Northwest Handling Systems, so thanks to them as well. He's
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: got some good games. How about the Seahawks game he's
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: got coming up next week?
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I love that. I don't think he's had a Seahawks game.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't ask him. I don't think he's had a
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Seahawks game yet this year. I don't think he has.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I think you're right. But again, thanks to Northwest Handling Systems.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Everything from forklifts to pallet racks, conveyors to loading dock equipment.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: They sell, rent, and service all your warehousing needs. Request
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: a quote today. NWHS.com. Give them a call.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: 425-255-0500.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Back with more. We'll kind of get the show set up. Normally,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Ross is on our second segment at noon on Thursdays,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: but he's got some stuff going on with, obviously, Thursday
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Night Football. So we'll get things ready to go next.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: You know, we could just try to go sift through
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: a bunch of sound bites and podium stuff and all that, or.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: to find out what was said out at the Seahawks'
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: headquarters today, ahead of their practice coming up here shortly.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Or I could just go back and check in with
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell, our own Greg Bell, 10 to 12. And,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: of course, on the website you can read all his
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: stuff now here on KJR and find out what was
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: said and have him tell us. And that's probably a
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: better way to do it. So here he is back.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: He's only been off for not even an hour's time,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: but he's back with us, buddy. How are you?
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: Anything for you, Ian. I'm good.
• 21:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah, the news of Drew Locke is that he said
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: his elbow's fine. and that he's letting it rip in practice,
• 21:31
  Speaker 9: that it felt good to let it rip in his
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: words yesterday in practice, the right elbow, the throwing elbow
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: that he injured three weeks ago. He said until then,
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: he didn't practice, he didn't throw much in practice. He
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: did throw during individual drills last week, when he again
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: was inactive in the emergency third quarterback against the Bears
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: Monday night. But in his mind, he's all ready to go.
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: He's starting Sunday, and in his mind, no restriction. He said, hey,
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: if the training staff wants to Dial me back here
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: at the end of the week. That's up to them,
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: but I'm full go ready to rip it.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Did he give any indication of what the injury was?
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Was it just sometimes you get the dead arm? Did
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: he give you any indication?
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: It sounds like it was more than just the dead arm,
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: but he just said, I had an injury to my
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: right arm, and he smiled.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: He wouldn't elaborate on what the injury was. It's in
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: the elbow.
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: Hugh, who's had that injury, Hugh Millen, our quarterback, John
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: KJR has surmised it might be a ligament inside the elbow,
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: an injury that he has had in the past. He
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: said it's something that if that's what it is, Hugh
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: Mellon was saying on our roundtable this morning, that's not
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: something you would inject with a painkiller. It wouldn't help it,
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: and it could potentially rip it right off the bone,
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: and that would be the end of his season. So
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: he wasn't clear on that, and he's smart enough not
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: to say exactly what it was. But he thinks he's
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: full go, ready to go, and doesn't think he's going
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: to be restricted at all on Sunday.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Well, that's good.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: So that's some good news there. We're going to talk
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: more about that with Steve Palazzolo coming up. He was
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: a hard guy from the 33rd team and checked in
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: my podcast. Actually, he was a baseball pitcher in the
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: minors and got up to the AAA level, and he
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: had all kinds of elbow issues, and we'll talk about
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: that as well with him too coming up. But before
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I get there, I saw DeMarcus Lawrence spoke as well.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I'm curious about what he had to say for a
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: defense that the red zone isn't very good. Listen, the
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Bears scored a lot of points, but in fairness– They
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: also had some long drives against Seattle. They did have
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: a couple, one half a field and one short field,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: but they did put the ball and had two double-digit
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: drives in terms of plays. So what did DeMarcus Lawrence
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: say about the defense?
• 23:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah, including 17 plays and eight and a half minutes
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: to start the game. It just bludgeoned them. We asked
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: him specifically about the red zone. Of the last 17
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: trips opponents have made inside the Seahawks' 20-yard line, they've
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: scored touchdowns on 15 of them. The Seahawks are dead
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: last in the NFL in red zone defense if you
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: judge it by how many times a team scores a touchdown. And,
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: of course, those are four-point plays, right? You either turn
• 23:57
  Speaker 9: them back for a field goal or they score touchdowns.
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: And a couple four-point plays, a couple failures, and make
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: threes become sevens, you lose the game. That's eight and
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: 12 points you're losing. That's how big the red zone
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: defense is. And when we asked them about that, DeMarcus
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: Lawrence said, teams are attacking my C-gap. Of course, that's
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: the gap outside the center toward the tight end. I've
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: got to heighten my awareness and be playing better football
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: in the red zone. Then I asked him about the
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: third and nine play, the wide receiver lateral to Kalief Raymond,
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: where he just took off past everybody for the 39-yard
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: game that essentially ended the game.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: It was 20-17 in the fourth quarter.
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: If the Seahawks get a stop there, they get the
• 24:34
  Speaker 9: ball back with momentum and a chance to win.
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: Instead, 27-17 game over.
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: And I noticed that on that play, Lawrence was unblocked
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: because the linemen were running the screen out to the side,
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: so they left him unblocked, and that he leaped and
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: almost batted down the pass.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: So I said, how close were you to knocking down Williams' pass?
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: He's not close.
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: In fact, I need to stick my foot in the ground,
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: turn around, and go get Raymond before he starts running.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: That's on me. I didn't do it. I failed on
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: that play. That's why it was a 39-yard gain.
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: And I was sitting there thinking, Ian, this sounds like
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: when I used to be a Major League Baseball beat writer,
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: and after a loss– Some veteran would go sit in
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: the middle of the clubhouse and wear it for the
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: entire team and keep the heat off the rest of
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: the veteran teammates so they didn't have to answer questions
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: about failures. I'll own this one. And that was DeMarcus
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: Lawrence today. He basically said, I'm going to own this,
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: even though probably all of the problems are not his fault.
• 25:27
  Speaker 9: But that's what a 34-year-old Super Bowl champion now, an
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: All-Pro in his 14th seed, that's what he does. And
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: so that was an accountability.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: I like it. Veteranism from DeMarcus Lawrence.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I like it, and the accountability is important. There's no
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: doubt about that. The red zone defense, though, it's not
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: just him, and that has to be a concern. I mean,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: it has to be a concern. It's just weird with
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: the brilliance that is Mike McDonald as a defensive coach
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: that that 32 is next to that red zone defense
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: stat in ranking in the NFL.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: It's probably the.
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: Most galling thing that drives him nuts most about this
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: team right now, I would think.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I would think you're right on with that. I saw
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Gray Zabel spoke, too. What did we hear from him?
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: He said that he didn't quite use the word underestimated,
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: but he said that the move from left guard to
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: right guard in the middle of game week, in the
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: middle of the season, was the most challenging thing he's
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: ever done in his football life. He said, I'm not
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: going to downplay how good that Jeffrey Simmons was for
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: the Bears inside on the line of scrimmage, and I'm
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: also not going to downplay how bad I was. And
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: he said that it was like trying to write right-handed
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: after you spent your whole life or at least your
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: last couple years writing left-handed. It's going to be messy, ugly,
• 26:39
  Speaker 9: and it's going to take a while before the writing
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: looks good. And he said that his foot placement was wrong.
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: He was using the wrong hands. Basically, Ian, he was thinking,
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: and we know in any sport, if you're thinking, you're slower,
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: especially on a line of scrimmage. If you're thinking, you're
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: slow off the ball, and you're going to get beat
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: by an all-pro across from you, and that's what happens.
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: So you would think he's going to be faster this
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: game against Arizona. He's also not going to be facing
• 27:03
  Speaker 9: Jason Simmons or Jeffrey Simmons on Sunday, and that's going
• 27:07
  Speaker 9: to help him too. But more accountability from him. And
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: he said, hey, there's no excuses in this league.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: I get it.
• 27:14
  Speaker 9: They brought in an all-pro. They moved me over. I
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: got to get it right. But he did say it
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: was maybe– when I asked him, was it a bigger challenge.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: Than you thought, he said, yeah.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it just– any offensive lineman you talk
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: to says that. I know people try to downplay it
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: and everything else. You were going to upgrade at left guard,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: and at some point you're upgrading at right guard. It
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: just wasn't going to happen, snap of the fingers, over
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: the course of two or three days.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Would you agree? No.
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: It's bad timing for the Seahawks that Jeffrey Simmons was
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: the guy that Zabel had to go against the first
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: game he got moved.
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: But you're not going to not move him because of that.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: You're not going to not bench him, not to mention
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: that Anthony Bradford's been injured and was limited in practices
• 27:58
  Speaker 9: last week as well. So that was, as Mike McDonnell
• 28:01
  Speaker 9: would call it, the cost of doing business. It just
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: cost him a lot on the line of scrimmage because
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: Simmons was the opponent.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I know you've got some stuff coming up on the website, 933kgr.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Com.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: What else did you learn out there today before you
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: head outside?
• 28:11
  Speaker 10: That Jalen Milrow is getting ones reps. That Drew Locke
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: thinks that Milrow has progressed quite a bit in the
• 28:22
  Speaker 10: short amount of time, even within this season. as far
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: as preparation and learning. And Locke said he is too.
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: He said that he's a much better quarterback in his
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: time management during a week preparing for games since he
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: was starting in September. And that he also said, I
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: thought it was interesting when I asked him, did you
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: know Sam Darnold had cracked a rib on the second play?
• 28:41
  Speaker 9: He said, I didn't know that specifically, but I knew
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: something was wrong. He said, he asked Brady Henderson, are
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: you married? And of course, the one guy in the
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: room who wasn't or hasn't been.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: He said, no. And he said, well, do you have
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: a girlfriend for a long time?
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: He said, well, yeah, I have.
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: Well, you know when she's upset and she didn't even
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: have to say anything, you know. That's kind of how
• 28:59
  Speaker 9: I am with Sam Darnold, Locke said. He said, I've
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: been with him every moment in the last couple years,
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: and I know watching every snap and every practice rep
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: when something's not right. And he said it was obvious
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: early in the game something wasn't right with him. But
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: he credited him for soldiering on and playing anyway. Then
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: that raises the question, should they have removed Darnold from
• 29:18
  Speaker 9: the game? He only completed 50% of his passes, the
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: season low, and if Drew Locke knew it, Maybe someone
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: on the coaching staff knew it, but because Drew Locke
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: was not available, he was the emergency third quarterback, that
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: made it an entirely different proposition that you would have
• 29:33
  Speaker 9: to throw Jalen Milrow into a game that you're in
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: in the first half. So I got the reading between
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: the lines. that if Drew Locke was healthy and available,
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: he might have come into the game during the game
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: on Monday night.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Wow. Crazy.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Well, they share the misery of quarterback injuries with about
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: half the league.
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: At least it's not an undrafted rookie starting for Seattle
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: on Sunday like Baltimore's got going.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Right, and you've got Arizona coming in, and despite the
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Minshew magic of the world and all that kind of
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: fun stuff, your defense alone over the next two weeks
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: should win you two games.
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: No matter who the quarterback is, the Seahawks should be
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: 6-4 going into the bye, and then you've got 19
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: days off. For Sam Darnold to rest these injuries to play,
• 30:15
  Speaker 9: they start the game on November 28th at San Francisco.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: All right. On 933kdr. com, Greg Bell's got his Seahawks Insider
• 30:20

• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Our guy Steve Palazzolo here. Thursday night football tonight right
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: here on 93.3 KJR FM. We had Monday night football
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: last week. We'll get to that in a second. We've
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: got quarterback injuries here. Seattle was feeling left out, Steve.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: They wanted to have some quarterback injuries like everybody else, man.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: Doing great. Yeah, it's unfortunate. I think Sam's just ducking
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: the Cardinals again, I think is what is happening here.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: I didn't think of it that way, but you're probably right.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: He's just like he wants no part of... Why would
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: you want any part of that team right now?
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: He doesn't want to pad his stats against the Cardinals.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: He's doing a solid walk.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: He needs to pad his stats is the problem.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: Let me.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: We don't want to revisit everything from Monday because it
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: was a few days ago. We're moving on. Bill Belichick,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: we're moving on to Arizona. But before I do that
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: and take a tour of the rest of the league, Steve,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: what can we gain from what we saw Monday? And
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: not just for Seattle, but Chicago. Because we talked last week, hey,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: this great euphoria over a win over Kansas City. Handing
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs their first loss. And is Kansas City not
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: all that? Is Seattle better? Now we have another completely
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: opposite result from Monday night. What did you, Sam, and
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: the rest of the crew, what do you guys think
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: from what happened on Monday night for both Seattle and Chicago?
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: My takeaway was mostly driven by Chicago and the fact
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: that year three of Caleb Williams in the league, year
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: two of him and Ben Johnson together. I think they
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: made a statement. I think Seattle, like I haven't really
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: soured on the Seahawks a ton, you know, the whole
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: season I've said, ah, the turnovers, the turnovers, they're kind
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: of fluky, trust the defense. But this was the first game,
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: you know, first game they've lost by a lot in
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: a long time. And it was, I think it was
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: the bears. I think it was their ability to put
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: together and sustain long drives against Seattle in Seattle against
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: that defense. They ran the ball a lot, not necessarily well,
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: but a lot. and just you know control the ball
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: and control the game and then come out and make
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: big plays with their defense and the Jeffrey Simmons hype
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: which I think is warranted right I don't think he
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: played that much differently than he plays in Tennessee but
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: we all got to watch it and see it in
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: prime time and so for me it was more hey
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: look the Bears look like they can contend right I
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: think they showed a lot and then for the Seahawks
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: you know it still comes down to I trust the
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: defense yeah they got you know they gave up more
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: than they usually do in that one but the offense
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: and the consistency. And if Darnold was, I forget, do
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: you know where they said he was hurt? You know,
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: if he's like playing her through the game or if
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: he got hurt late, the consistency of the offense, the
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: fact that you still have JSN with 118 of the
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: 188 receiving yards, like the same kind of problems popping up,
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: the inconsistent run game. So I think they have the
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: same problems to fix. I think they're fixable. As you know, Darnold,
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: I've seen him play better football, but I think Monday
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: night was really about the Bears making a massive statement
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: to the NFL.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the big thing with, you know, Darnold
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: was hurt. Well, he got hurt twice. They say the
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: ribs aren't or the rib isn't as bad, but he
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: got hit on that blitz by Kyler Gordon, who's from
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: this area, went to Archbishop Murphy and up in Snohomish County,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: went to UW. But then the last play of the game,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I guess, is when he hurt the quad, and that's
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: what's keeping him out this week. So, you know, I mean, listen,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: those things, that happens in the NFL. He had struggled, though.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: So you just don't know, and they're never going to
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: tell us how much each of those two, the last
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: play of the game, obviously doesn't affect the rest of
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: the game. Maybe the ribs did. But now they're in
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: a different situation because– Drew Locke is supposed to start
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: this week. He was limited in practice yesterday. We're not
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: able to see practice, but I mean, I know this.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: We've been out there the last couple weeks not even
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: thinking anything about it, knowing he's got a sore elbow,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: and while guys are kind of tossing around, they're stretching.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: We don't see much from Drew Locke at all. This
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: might be the Jalen Milrow show this weekend, and that
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: feels like that's the story of the season in the
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: NFL would be quarterback injuries. Steve, the drop-off from Locke
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: to Milrow we think is pretty significant. That's maybe a
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: little worrisome.
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: I didn't even realize they could be down to Milrow
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: for this one. I thought it was definitely Locke. But
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: the Milrow question, I mean, either way, I mean, Locke
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: played pretty well in week two. And then, you know,
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: most of week one when he had to come in.
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: If it was him, I think he's at least shown, hey,
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: he can get the ball to JSN and make some
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: of those big plays that are necessary. The Drew Locke
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: story for his career has been avoiding turnovers and a
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: lot of the stuff that has been an issue for
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: the Seahawks this season. But Locke has been better in
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: the limited time that we've seen him over the last
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: couple of years. I think Milrow is so fascinating as
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: a prospect because there were some games where you said, OK,
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: that's it, right? There were games in college where where
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: you said, I'm seeing the throws that I need to see.
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: And then he is a, he's a very good runner,
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: special runner as far as his speed and acceleration and everything. So, um,
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: there were other games, however, where everything was bad and
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: it was like pocket presence, decision-making game management, all of it. And,
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: What I usually say about a quarterback that can run
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: as well as Milrow is that they raise the floor
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: of the offense. And so even in a game, you know,
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: picture a stat line where QB goes, you know, like
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: 12 for 30 or some crazy number.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: They can still make an impact.
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: Even if they have a tough time in the pass game,
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: you could still run the ball eight times for 70
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: yards or have a couple of keepers or whatever. at
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: least keep the defense honest because of your legs so
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: if it is a Jalen Milrow show I mean that
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: opens up a whole different part of the playbook it
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: doesn't mean it's a better part of the playbook but
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: a different part where you have to use his legs
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: you have to make the defense account for his legs
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: you probably have to run them eight to ten times
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: don't want to get them hurt but you probably have
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: to just to open up the pass game and Lamar
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: Jackson I think is an extreme example but Lamar is
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: so good as a runner that he changes the math
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: of the defense and that opens up throws. And so
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: Lamar Jackson has more open throws than most quarterbacks because
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: defense has, they have to account for his legs. They
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: have to worry about him as a design runner. So
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: I think that's what, Jalen Milrow potentially brings to the
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: table is like, hey, you could scheme open some non-JSN
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: type of players because of the run threat of Jalen Milrow.
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: They just have to lean into that maybe early in
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: the game if it's his show.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and his last preseason game, Milrow's was really good.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: He looked really good in that last preseason game, but
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: it's preseason as opposed to what we're going to see
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: maybe on Sunday. And we don't know he's going to play.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Here's how you connect the dots, Steve, and tell me
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: if this makes sense to you because The funny thing
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: was there was this weird narrative going around both here
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: and really kind of across the league. Well, this is
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: just a soft benching of Sam Darnold, and that's what
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: they're doing and all that. And as we've tried to
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: point out, like, guys, Locke has been the third quarterback
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: the last two weeks because of an elbow. He's limited
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: in practice on Wednesday because of an elbow. And let's
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: take it one step further. When Sam Darnold was hurt
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: before the start of the season, they didn't bring in
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: another quarterback. to have on the practice squad or another guy.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: It was Locke and it was Milrow. They were both
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: healthy and they were fine. Well, they brought in another
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: practice squad quarterback as well this week. So that tells
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: you that there is a concern that Milrow will be
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: playing or one or two and they're going to need
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: to have a guy that they can elevate on sunday
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: if need be so that's all you need to know
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: there and you know we've got we don't know what
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: lock status is but i mean quarterback with an elbow
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: you were a pitcher for people to know steve the
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: great story steve was a baseball pitcher minor league baseball
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: pitcher uh as well you helped me out baseball football
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: a sore elbow does that affect you steve help me
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: out here.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: That's my sob story, Ian. I was on my way
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: to the big leagues in 2008, go from AA to
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: AAA early in the season, first call up from our
• 39:03
  Speaker 7: AA bullpen. In my second outing in AAA, Elbow starts barking,
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: killing me. And I'm like, I can't tell the trainer
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: I got to try to pitch through this. And like
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: an 11 ERA later, three or four appearances later, it's like, hey,
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: Elbow hurts. Shut down for six weeks. see you later,
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: San Francisco Giants. So yeah, it's tough to throw through
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: any kind of elbow or arm injury or shoulder injury.
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: And elbows, we used to associate more with accuracy, whereas
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: like a shoulder might sap your velocity, but an elbow
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: might sap your accuracy a little bit. So yeah, it's
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: not easy to throw through that if you're dealing with pain.
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: And I also had the Mariners kind of soft bench
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: me when I was in AAA too. I had a
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: little phantom calf injury. so that they could hide me
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: on the injured reserve for just a little bit.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: So I've seen it.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: All here, Ian. Was that Zarensik? I never asked you this.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Was that Zarensik or Bavese?
• 39:58
  Speaker 7: Zarensik. He was the first guy that signed me. So
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: him and his scouting director, Blangino, who was his, I think,
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: AGM at the time, they first signed me with the Brewers.
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: And then when I needed a job, I got released
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: by the giants. And then they brought me in with
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: the Mariners. So I was like, I had that connection.
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: So yeah, that's, those are my people. I know they
• 40:15
  Speaker 7: didn't do well in Seattle, but those are my people.
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: So they gave me.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Two jobs here.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Well, believe it or not, the poor Mariners, they can't
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: do anything right these days. They, on a side note,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: they bring in Jason Kanzler yesterday and they introduced him.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: He's kind of, he's kind of blah, a little underwhelming
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: in his press conference. And But as I pointed out,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: I'll say this. Pat Murphy could quit tomorrow Milwaukee and say,
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: I want to come to Seattle and Mariner fans until
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: they get to the World Series and find something bad
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: with that. So that's just the way it is out
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: here with our baseball team. All right, so let's take a–
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew gets to start for Arizona this weekend, and
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: we're very familiar with it. Go Cougs. And what his
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: career is. Somehow the guy's eked out a $ 28 million
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: career so far. Hopefully he's helping donate to the NIL fund.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: We need it.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: What I've always thought with Gardner, and you guys study
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: this closely, I feel like he can give you a
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: few games. He's not going to give you 17, but
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: he can give you a few. And he certainly, as
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: we saw last week, a better option than Jacoby Bursette,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: who we'll get to him in a second. And maybe
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Carson Beck is our guy of the future. Maybe we'll
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: find out. But what does Gardner Minshew bring to that team?
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Because that second half against Dallas, especially that last drive,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: was lights out.
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, he was unbelievable in the second half.
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: I mean, look, Jacoby Brissett's had his moments too. I
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: think Brissett struggled to kind of finish games, but they
• 41:33
  Speaker 7: were in this pass-happy script where Brissett's throwing the ball 45,
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: 50 times, way more than he should. That's not Brissett's game.
• 41:41
  Speaker 7: Minshew has definitely been a spark plug. I mean, we
• 41:43
  Speaker 7: always try to look at quarterbacks and what's around them
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: and who are the playmakers and who's helping the QB
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: and what's the offensive line look like. Minshew's rookie season
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: in 2019 with the Jags he had nothing around him
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: and he looked great 21 touchdowns six picks throwing the
• 41:58
  Speaker 7: ball down the field he never really matched that but
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: yeah he would have these stretches of play that are
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: really good you look at the Indianapolis Colts the they've
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: had two good runs under Shane Steichen one was in
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: 2023 they were on the the fringe of the playoffs
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: with Minshew going seven and six and then they had
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: the Daniel Jones a little run last year but Minshew's
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: had runs in his career where he's looked good and
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: other runs where he's not looked as good, but he
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: feels like that type of backup quarterback who's ready to go.
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: You give him a few games, he could spark the offense.
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: He'll run out of juice at some point, but yeah,
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: he looked great last week, and he's done that at
• 42:34
  Speaker 7: other points in his career.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll see what they've got this weekend. Meanwhile, around
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: the rest of the league, let's kind of take a tour.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: We'll start tonight. Boy, Baltimore. At what point do you
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: just tap out? I mean, they're going against a good
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville team. and they're down to number three, undrafted free agents.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: What's going on in Baltimore?
• 42:54
  Speaker 7: It's a tricky one for them because obviously expectations are
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: always really high in Baltimore, but even the stuff behind
• 43:00
  Speaker 7: the scenes like this offseason where Eric DaCosta is the GM,
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: and I think if you were ranking organizations over the
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: last 10 to 15 years, you'd have the Ravens pretty
• 43:08
  Speaker 7: high and the job that Eric DaCosta has done as
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: general manager. But They fired John Harbaugh this last offseason
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: because they needed a change. And the owner, Steve Bishotti,
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: saying something to the effect of, Eric knows that he
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: got our friend fired. And it was like, oh, boy,
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: this is a pivotal year for GM Eric DaCosta, who's
• 43:27
  Speaker 7: usually ranked as one of the better general managers.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: And here they are, four and four, on.
• 43:32
  Speaker 7: Their third starting quarterback, a UDFA rookie. They'll have a
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: fourth starting quarterback when Brissette takes over next week. And
• 43:39
  Speaker 7: so I think they need to win. I don't think
• 43:41
  Speaker 7: they can punt. I don't think they can say, oh,
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: it's another lost season. Last year was a lost season.
• 43:44
  Speaker 7: They didn't make the playoffs.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: They underwhelmed.
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: And so even with.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Lamar Hurt and Tyler Huntley Hurt.
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: They're still trying to– I just don't know if there's
• 43:53
  Speaker 7: like a hot seat issue with Eric DaCosta. But they've underwhelmed,
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: I think, defensively. Jesse Minter was supposed to solve that.
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: They still have some pass rush issues despite the talent
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: being there. So I think it's– An underwhelming year in Baltimore,
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: plus the quarterback injuries make it just a tough one.
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: And it makes a game that looked great on paper
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: coming in, if it was Lamar Jackson and Trevor Lawrence,
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: and loses a little bit of luster, I think, especially
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: with how well the Jags are playing right now.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like you've got no chance. You don't
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: have a quarterback. I mean, it's just so hard, right?
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: It's just so hard what you're doing there. And I
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: think that's what we're seeing right now from these guys.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: All right, it's Steve Palazzolo joining us here on the
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Beacon Plumbing Hotline. Let's look around. Philadelphia, same thing. They're
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: going to Joe Milton, who wasn't even good enough to
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: be a backup in Dallas. I know that they weren't
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: happy with him there with some of the preparation, shall
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: we say, and things like that. So what the hell's
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: going on there with Joe Milton?
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: Joe Milton is just fun. So hopefully he'll be fun
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: on Sunday. He doesn't use one of those big-armed, inaccurate
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: quarterbacks when, you know, that's why he doesn't, you know,
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: it goes until the sixth round coming out, but he's,
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: I mean, he's got as big of an arm as
• 45:08
  Speaker 7: anybody in the NFL. And the thing about the inaccurate
• 45:12
  Speaker 7: quarterback is sometimes it's like, all right, get them in
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: the building.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: Let's see if we could fix them.
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: What's intriguing about Milton is he's shown elements of being better,
• 45:20
  Speaker 7: both in the preseason with the new England Patriots, one
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: start with the Patriots in week 18 and And like
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: a preseason game with the Dallas Cowboys. So what's intriguing
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: about him is there's been times where it's like, wow,
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: the footwork looks good. He looks comfortable in the pocket.
• 45:33
  Speaker 7: He can throw on the run, makes big plays inside
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: of structure, outside of structure. But the consistency is still
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: not there. But it'll be fun. Like he might hit
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: a couple bombs. He might throw three interceptions, might, you know,
• 45:44
  Speaker 7: overthrow somebody by a mile.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: It'll be fun. It'll be intriguing.
• 45:48
  Speaker 7: I can't wait to see if somebody can harness Joe
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: Milton at some point, though. But on the other side,
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: the Patriots traded him for almost nothing. The Cowboys let
• 45:55
  Speaker 7: him walk. So there's something going on there where nobody
• 45:57
  Speaker 7: really believes in him, but he's as toolsy as it
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: gets when it comes to the quarterback position. So see
• 46:03
  Speaker 7: if the Eagles can at least get some sort of
• 46:06
  Speaker 7: big playability out of their offense, which has been awful
• 46:08
  Speaker 7: so far this season.
• 46:09

• 46:55
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: Uh, Kyler Murray, he's out. So Carson Wentz is still
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: in the league. Steve, is that true? Did I just
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: see that?
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: Is Carson Wentz still in the, in the national football league?
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: He's still there. He played a little bit for Minnesota
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: earlier this year, last year. So, yeah, Carson Wentz getting
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: the start. It's not looking good in Minnesota for the
• 47:11
  Speaker 7: quarterback position. Looking great on the defensive side, but they're
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: trying to figure out a quarterback. There were rumors that
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: maybe they might be in the Jacoby Brissett sweepstakes, so
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: to speak. It's going to be Wentz because Kyler has
• 47:22
  Speaker 7: just not.
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: Been a fit.
• 47:24
  Speaker 7: I don't think that might be the soft benching that
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: you guys are talking about, though. He's got a hamstring
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: tweak that popped up on Monday, Kyler, and the Vikings
• 47:33
  Speaker 7: may have done something like that with J.J. McCarthy last
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: year as well.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Interesting. That's soft benching. Like we said at the start,
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: this is definitely not the case here as we look
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: around the NFL. The San Francisco 49ers looking more and
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: more like they're going to walk away with the NFC West.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: They got the Brandon Ayuk situation, but they're getting healthy
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: right now. And the first time this year we'll see
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: DeForest Buckner in a game. They're taking on the Raiders.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: What do you think he's going to bring to that
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: team and that defense?
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: Just another interior pass rusher, good run stopper, immediately the
• 48:05
  Speaker 7: best defensive tackle on that team. And look, they've already,
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: they've done a better job in the, against the run
• 48:11
  Speaker 7: defensively than I had thought going in. I thought they
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: were going to get beat up at the defensive tackle
• 48:16
  Speaker 7: in particular in the run game, but they've been.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Pretty good there.
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: Fred Warner makes so much come together for that defense
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: now that he's healthy.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 48:23
  Speaker 7: They just have a chance to reload. Like they've done
• 48:26
  Speaker 7: a great job with all the turnover at receiver, all
• 48:29
  Speaker 7: the injuries and, Brock Purdy playing the best football of
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: his career. I know they're coming off a loss before
• 48:34
  Speaker 7: the bye with Atlanta. But, you know, Mike Evans will
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: be back at some point. And they're just in a–
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: they are in a really good spot. I think it's,
• 48:41
  Speaker 7: you know, Purdy's keeping it all together offensively and the
• 48:43
  Speaker 7: defense with Raheem Morris coming in. I'm doing a really
• 48:46
  Speaker 7: nice job with Fred Warner in the middle where he
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: just makes such an impact and you feel it every week.
• 48:52
  Speaker 7: And I think the D line is getting their reinforcements.
• 48:55
  Speaker 7: You have Warner, you have a secondary that's been playing well.
• 48:57
  Speaker 7: So yeah, I think the Niners, they're in good shape
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: despite all the injuries throughout the season.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: The before you go, Steve trade deadlines coming up at
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: the time we talk again, the trade deadline will have
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: come and gone. What do you think may or may
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: not happen with Jonathan Taylor and what should happen with
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor?
• 49:13
  Speaker 7: I mean, I could just see him being a part
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: of the Colts' future. I think the next general manager,
• 49:17
  Speaker 7: the reason why they trade DeForest Buckner and Quinton is
• 49:20
  Speaker 7: they're in the last years of their contract. that kind
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: of makes sense to get rid of somebody that you
• 49:25
  Speaker 7: might lose nothing. You know, we get nothing for basically
• 49:28
  Speaker 7: Josh downs. I could see him being traded, but Taylor,
• 49:31
  Speaker 7: I could see them saying, look, we've got a couple
• 49:33
  Speaker 7: more years of Taylor. We already paid him his bonus
• 49:35
  Speaker 7: and everything. Let's keep him around. Let's you just have
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: to keep him on board and say, look, we're going to,
• 49:39
  Speaker 7: we're going to turn this around. We're going to figure
• 49:40
  Speaker 7: it out. We're going to get the new guy in here.
• 49:43
  Speaker 7: But I could see Taylor staying and I don't know
• 49:45
  Speaker 7: which teams, maybe the Vikings, but I don't know which
• 49:47
  Speaker 7: teams around the NFL are, are desperate enough for the
• 49:50
  Speaker 7: running back upgrade that they have to make that move
• 49:53
  Speaker 7: to go get Jonathan Taylor. So I could see him
• 49:54
  Speaker 7: still staying in Indianapolis. I could see him getting traded,
• 49:58
  Speaker 7: but I guess I'll lean toward him staying at this point.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: You guys on the Check the Mic podcast, not to
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: be a total spoiler, but you had some midseason awards.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: Does our friend JSN factor in there somewhere?
• 50:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, we gave him Offensive Player of the Year,
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: and we debated him for MVP. And on our show,
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: we very rarely talk about non-quarterbacks for MVP.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: It's just the nature of football.
• 50:20
  Speaker 7: But when you stack up what JSN has done with
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: an inconsistent Sam Darnold, with basically two games of Drew Locke,
• 50:29
  Speaker 7: with no help elsewhere on the offense, I think JSN
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: has to be in that conversation.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: For MVP.
• 50:35
  Speaker 7: And if the Seahawks had a better record, I think
• 50:37
  Speaker 7: you'd have even more of a conversation about it. But yeah,
• 50:39
  Speaker 7: he's been incredible. And he's one of the few non-quarterbacks
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: I think you could say has had MVP type of
• 50:45
  Speaker 7: impact this season.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: All right, go check that out. Check the mic. Tell
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: folks about the Check the Mic podcast. I'm a podcast guy.
• 50:50

• 50:54

• 51:20
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs. They do more than that. Thank God. Thank
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: God for you and others.
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Hey, we'll talk to you next week. Thank you very much, Steve.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Steve Palazzolo, check the Mike podcast. We'll take a break.
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: Come back.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: Don't forget, we've got Funston Unofficial Star of the Weekend
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: at 2 o'clock. Get your texts in also. We've got
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Factor Fiction all coming up on 93.3 KGRFM.
• 51:49
  Speaker 7: He's the leading face of fantasy sports.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Even though you can't see him, trust us. It's time
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: for Ian's weekly visit with the athletics Brandon Funston. Brought
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: to you by Georgetown Brewing Company. Brewing darn tasty beer
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: like Manny's Pale Ale, Bodhisattva, and the new Tavern Beer
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: for over 20 years. Look for it in your favorite
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: local establishment, grocery store, or swing by the tasting room
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: at the brewery in Georgetown. On your home for the NFL.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3, KJR-FM. He's got it!
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: Touchdown! Oh, you hear the open. You know he's here.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Brandon Funston standing by. Time to get a little fantasy
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: football in. It's the unofficial start of the weekend. Thursday
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: night football tonight. Jacksville, Baltimore, right here on 93.3 KJR FM,
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: 515 kickoff. There's at least some fantasy implications in that game,
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: although the biggest one would have been Lamar. He's out. Brandon,
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: first of all, carnage in the quarterback world, is there not?
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: I thought your update on quarterback changes was a little
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: bit light. You didn't mention Joe Fagnano and your guy,
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: Gardner Minshew, Joe Milton, Shador Sanders. Yeah, all kinds of
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: crazy names behind center this week, for sure.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Minshew, actually, if you would have, nobody would have started
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: him last week. He wasn't starting. He came in and
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: replaced Brissette. He would actually probably put up some fantasy
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: numbers last week. I don't know if he'll do that
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: this week against Seattle, but he would have put up
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: fantasy numbers last week, right?
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you were, yeah, if you had a
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: crystal ball and you could come in because Jacoby Brissett
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: was terrible and now he gets to go and, and
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: go to Baltimore. So, um, yeah, he had, he had
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: a good week, but yeah, Seattle, I think gives up
• 53:32
  Speaker 5: the fewest fans. He points to quarterbacks and, and Arizona's
• 53:35
  Speaker 5: depleted right now.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: So.
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: If we can't shut Gardner Minshew down, then we have
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: a serious, serious problem.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Serious problem in that regard. Okay. When a line opens up, 206-286-9595. 206-286-9595.
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: We're back to normal. I feel a lot better about
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: the world we're in right now, Funston, because I look
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: at the names and that Ashley's passed along. I feel
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: really we're back in a good spot.
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: We're back in a good spot. Mike and Edmund, you're
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: first up. Fire away, buddy.
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 54:07
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 54:08
  Speaker 9: No live golf.
• 54:09
  Speaker 8: Back to normal.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Life is good.
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 54:12
  Speaker 5: What do you got?
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 54:14
  Speaker 8: I got a running back. Hell, I've got a running
• 54:17
  Speaker 8: back on a team that's disintegrating. I've got a running
• 54:20
  Speaker 8: back that should be in prison. So help me out.
• 54:23
  Speaker 8: I need to, I need two of these, two of
• 54:27
  Speaker 8: these four guys, full PPR, Jonathan Taylor, Tyler Algier, Holly Gordon,
• 54:35
  Speaker 8: Or Josh Jacobs. And thanks for doing this.
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: All right. What do you got, Funston?
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: I think I'm definitely going to go Jonathan Taylor. Hasn't
• 54:41
  Speaker 5: been traded yet. It's against Dallas. Dallas is a good
• 54:44
  Speaker 5: matchup for him. So it could be his swan song
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: in Indy. And I think it'll be a decent one.
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: And then I'm going to have to go with the
• 54:50
  Speaker 5: guy you alluded to maybe should.
• 54:52
  Speaker 6: Be in jail.
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: It's Josh Jacobs. Just because... You know, he's good at
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: the goal line when they get down there. He's got
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: touchdown upside. He has the ability to catch the ball
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: in the backfield. I think Algier is going to likely
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: split carries with Bam Knight, even though he went crazy
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: last week. It's a tough matchup against Seattle. Ollie Gordon
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: also has a tough sledding against Detroit, but the only
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: thing that they can do on defense is stop the run.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: All right, beautiful. That's Mike and Edmunds leading things off.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: That does open up a line. If you want to
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: jump on it right now, 206-286. 9 5 9 5
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: 2 0 6 2 8 6 9 5 9 5.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: And next up.
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, he is.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: He's here. He's calling in from the 2 5 3 Tacoma, Washington.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to Ricky in Tacoma. What's up, Ricky?
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: What's up, y'all?
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: How's it going?
• 55:34
  Speaker 6: We're good, buddy.
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: We're good.
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: We're good.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: Good to hear your voice.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks.
• 55:38
  Speaker 11: I'm pretty much mirror Mike here, except I don't have
• 55:41
  Speaker 11: no jailbait, but I have running back from here. Half
• 55:46
  Speaker 11: point PPR, um, I guess Devin Singletary or Jadarian Price
• 55:52
  Speaker 11: of Seattle.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: Go Hawks. Which one should I choose between those two?
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I kind of think Jadarian Price. I mean, it's
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: a good matchup against Arizona. He gets an extra week
• 56:02
  Speaker 5: out of his feet wet last week coming back, and
• 56:03
  Speaker 5: you get Quentin Nelson the full week of practice. I
• 56:06
  Speaker 5: kind of like that. Scadabo might still play, even if
• 56:10
  Speaker 5: he doesn't. I'd probably slightly lean Price if it's only
• 56:14
  Speaker 5: Singletary there for the Giants, but yeah, I'm... Generally, just
• 56:19
  Speaker 5: on the price side of that one.
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: All right. Beautiful.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: Good to hear from you, Ricky. That's Ricky in Tacoma.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: Always happy.
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: Always upbeat.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: I love hearing from Ricky. 206-286-9595. We next go to... Well,
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: let's see. What do you think? Where are we at this? Funston,
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: what's your prediction?
• 56:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, I think we're back to normalcy. So you know
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: where I'm going.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: All right. How bad is it, Rob?
• 56:43
  Speaker 7: Well, I started Lamar Jackson.
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: And I played against Baker Mayfield, and I got destroyed.
• 56:51
  Speaker 5: That's amazing.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: So not good.
• 56:54
  Speaker 5: Jackson goes out on the first play, and Baker Mayfield
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: doesn't complete a pass. What a quarterback matchup.
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Lowest scoring game in the history of
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: fantasy football, probably.
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: Well, as we're back to normal, Rob, you're still grinding away.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: What do you got for Funston?
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: Brutal. I don't even know why we do this. Okay,
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: I need two or four. Kittle, A.J. Brown, Waddle, or
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: Denzel Boston, please.
• 57:20
  Speaker 5: Two or four, and what was Denzel Boston? I think
• 57:24
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go Denzel over Jalen Waddle. I'm looking
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: at my numbers. I have Jalen Waddle one spot ahead
• 57:31
  Speaker 5: of Boston, and Boston have a calf injury, have Shador Sanders,
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: so you're not quite sure. He's generally been a shorter
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: area guy, so I think I'm going to go Waddle there,
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: and Kittle could have a huge day because it doesn't
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: look like Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel are coming back,
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: so it's hard to hang your hat on any of
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: those receivers. It's pretty easy to imagine Kittle goes crazy. Rob,
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: are you still with me?
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 57:53
  Speaker 6: Let's see.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: I'm just looking.
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: 209.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: Are we jacking coke already, or what are we doing?
• 57:59
  Speaker 6: No, no, no.
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: I went to the office today.
• 58:02
  Speaker 5: I'm going to introduce him to the sponsor of this segment.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: Georgetown Brewing, I know, I know, I know.
• 58:08
  Speaker 5: By the way, A.J. Brown, not expected to play.
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, there you go.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: All right, Rob, we'll check in with Rob next week. Yeah,
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, and listen, I like a Jack Daniels. I'm
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: all in, but let's talk to you about our good
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: friends out at Chambers Bay Distillery. Okay, let's see. Steven
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: and Sultan, you're up next.
• 58:24
  Speaker 6: What's up, Steven?
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: So we're going to go local this time.
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: I need an Eastern Washington wide receiver.
• 58:30
  Speaker 7: Either the pride of Yakima, Cooper Tufts, or the pride
• 58:33
  Speaker 7: of Monroe, Efton Chisholm III.
• 58:35
  Speaker 6: God.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: We're reaching the depths right now. God.
• 58:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, in a toss-up like that.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: I know him personally, but he's going to do a fantasy.
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: I think in a toss-up like that, you've got to
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: go with our guy, Cooper Cup. Touchdown last week. Good
• 58:55
  Speaker 5: matchup against Arizona.
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: So, yeah.
• 58:58
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's a tough one. But if it's a
• 59:01
  Speaker 5: close call, go with the Seahawks.
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: Okay. Let's stay in Salton. Derek in Salton. The Salton
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: two-step as always. I love normalcy. I love predictability. What
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: do you got, Derek? What do you got for us, buddy?
• 59:11
  Speaker 10: Hey, guys.
• 59:14
  Speaker 5: I had my points doubled last week against my opponent.
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: So my running back room is terrible.
• 59:19
  Speaker 11: I have a trade question.
• 59:22
  Speaker 6: Ooh, yes.
• 59:22
  Speaker 5: I know you guys like to trade. Yeah, that's right.
• 59:25
  Speaker 5: So I have a pretty good wide receiver room and
• 59:28
  Speaker 5: a really struggling running back room.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: My best wide receiver is Amon Ross St.
• 59:33
  Speaker 11: Brown, and I've got two trade offers.
• 59:36
  Speaker 8: One of them is for Jonah Coleman and Justin Jefferson,
• 59:39
  Speaker 8: and the other is Jonah Coleman and Christian Watson.
• 59:42
  Speaker 11: And this is PPR, three wide receiver league.
• 59:46
  Speaker 5: And is that person going to accept the deal? Because
• 59:49
  Speaker 5: I'd probably go Justin.
• 59:50
  Speaker 9: He'd send them both.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 59:53
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 59:53
  Speaker 5: So he wants him on Ross St.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: Brown.
• 59:55
  Speaker 5: Give you Jonah Coleman and Justin Jefferson. Man, this is
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 5: tough because I have a feeling that Kyler Murray, possibly
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 5: it was a soft benching. They've already ruled him out.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 5: And Carson Wentz. And Carson Wentz is much better for
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 5: Justin Jefferson. So I'm leaning. I'm going to lean the
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 5: Coleman and Justin Jefferson because I think Carson Wentz will
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: play a fair amount down the stretch. Maybe they might just.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 5: They might just be turning the corner on Kyler Murray.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: It's been that bad. He hasn't been good. All right.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: I like that. I like that a lot. Perfect. Thank you, Derek.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Stephen Shoreline. Stephen Shoreline, you're up next.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I got a wide receiver problem.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: Don't we all?
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't if Jackson was healthy. Zay Flowers....
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 11: Or Jacoby Myers or Braylon Allen, the running back from
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 11: the Jets.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: It's a PPR?
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 7: Non-PPR.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: That's a tough one. I might still lean Zay Flowers.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 5: And my thinking is Joe Fagnano, third string quarterback, it's
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: not a great upside for Zay Flowers. But of all
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 5: the receivers in the league that you can scheme with,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 5: scheme plays for sweeps short flat you know you just
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 5: uh you can you can kind of move him around
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 5: and get him the ball and i think that's what
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 5: they're going to really try to do so even though
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 5: it's not ppr i think he's going to handle the
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 5: ball decent amount he has a chance to break a long.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: One or two all right beautiful thank you let's get
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: we'll get one call in and then we're going to
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: lock up that she's got our mall locked up already
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: so you're calling uh it's already over because joel and
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: newcastle you get the last live word before we go
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: to the uh massive volume of text what do you
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: got joel.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 7: Speaker 3 1st and front and front and buddy, it's
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 7: going to be the same question I asked you in
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 7: week one. Now, mind you, this is my $ 500 league.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 7: I didn't tell my wife about until week, week one,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 7: week one, you told me start borough over Josh Allen,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 7: Josh Allen put.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: Up 45 and I slept on the couch. Now, same
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: question this week, Josh Allen or borough.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 7: Speaker 2 1st and front and front and buddy, it's
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 7: going to be the same question I asked you in
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 7: week one.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: Now, mind you, this is my $ 500 league. I didn't
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: tell my wife about until week one.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 7: Week one, you told me start borough over Josh Allen,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 7: Josh Allen put up 45 and I slept on the couch. Now,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 7: same question this week, Josh Allen or borough.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 6: What a nightmare.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 5: And I have those guys one, two on my list. But, God,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: I feel like I have Josh Allen number one, but
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 5: I feel like I need to go with Burrow this time.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 5: He has looked good. It's a much better matchup. I
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 5: just always am concerned that Josh Allen runs in a
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 5: couple touchdowns. And, you know, he's one of the most
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: matchup-proof quarterbacks there is. But go ahead and go Burrow.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 5: He's been great. His receivers are all healthy. Chase Brown
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 5: is starting to roll again. It's Atlanta. They haven't been
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 5: that tough against the quarterback. So I have no problem.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 5: Switching up and going burrow this week.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: All right. Joel, call next week and let us know
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: where you're sleeping. We'll be waiting for that along the way.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: I'm going to hit refresh here on the text. I
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: checked this earlier, 49451. Hang on. I've got to hit
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: this little button so I don't lose him in the
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: middle because I'm known for that. Let's look at 12 p.m. Oh,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: my goodness.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: Bullseye?
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, but also missing it by one second is Jamie
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: from Allen. So Jamie from Allen, you missed it by
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: one second. You know the rules. They're pretty simple. We
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: cannot deviate. We cannot. So, but I'm sure if Jamie
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: from Allen, and remember, we love to hear your names.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 5: It helps a lot.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: If Jamie from Allen, if you text your same question
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: at 49451, maybe, I can't promise, maybe Ashley will read it.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 6: Bullseye. Here we go.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: Need one.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: Jawan Johnson, Mason Taylor, Tyler Higby, Dalton Schultz, or A.J.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 6: Barner?
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 5: Okay, I'm going to go Tyler Higby if Terrence Ferguson,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 5: the other tight end there, does not come back. If
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 5: he does return, that gives Tyler Higby some competition there.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go to Jawan Johnson, even though he
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 5: went into the bye just sputtering, but I like Juwan Johnson.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 5: I don't think Jordan Tyson's coming back yet, and that'll
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: help Juwan Johnson get some targets.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: We got a whole bunch at one second after 12. Like,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: you guys are just absolutely sicko crazy people. Damien and
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: Mount Vernon, one second after 12. Half point PPR, need two. Brees, Braylon, Marks,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: or Corum?
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: Need two.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 5: Okay, Corum for sure. And this is funny. I got Corum, Brees,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 5: and Braylon back to back to back.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: So.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go Brees if he plays because he
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 5: has more of the PPR upside.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: Malik Washington or Shakir, full-point PPR?
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 5: Actually, Malik Washington. I've snuck him up. I think he's
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: going to get a decent amount of catches this week.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: Against Detroit, they'll probably be playing from behind. He's another
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 5: one of those guys easier to connect with than their
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 5: deeper targets like Caleb Douglas.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to warn people. If you.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: I might not even get time to the three seconds
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: after the hour.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: That's how many we have?
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 9: That's crazy.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: Still in one second.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: Need two.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: Bo Nix, Drew Locke, Carson Wentz. Must be super flex.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Carson Wentz.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 5: I go Wentz, Locke, Nix against Carolina. Carolina's good against quarterbacks.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: Herman from Los Angeles. Half point PPR. Listening on the
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. Need one wide receiver. Jamison Williams or Stephon Diggs?
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 5: I don't think you can sit Jamison Williams right now.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 5: He has five touchdowns the last three games going against Miami.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: I like Jamison.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: I need two full PPR. Higgins, Neighbors, Golden.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 5: Wow, that's an embarrassment of riches. It is Higgins and Neighbors.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 5: I have all three of them in the top 12,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 5: but Higgins is getting like 15 to 20 targets a
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: game lately, and Higgins has had two of the biggest
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 5: games of the year in his last two weeks. So
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 5: got to go with those two.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: Still one second after the hour, people. uh yesi from
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: los angeles every week we hear from her right half
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: point ppr listening on the iheart radio app half point
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: ppr need one for my quarterback kirk cousins this is
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: funny actually kirk cousins or jj mccarthy wow.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 5: Um i have kirk cousins a couple spots ahead of
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 5: jj mccarthy so there you go.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: Like what three weeks ago if jj mccarthy's name would
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: have been mentioned here you would have laughed Now, no more. David,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: need three half-point PPR. Judkins, Price, Gordon, Coleman, Jenty. Need
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: three of those out of the five.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 5: Okay, Judkins, for sure. I really like the matchup this
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 5: week against New Orleans. They get the most fantasy points.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 5: I love Jonah Coleman going against Carolina. The second most
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 5: fantasy points to running backs. You said Jenty, and who
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: were the other ones? Jenty, Gordon, and Price. I'm going
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 5: to go with Gordon, just one spot ahead of Jenty.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 5: okay uh yeah.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: One still two seconds one please jonah coleman hunter henry
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: michael wilson or denzel boston uh.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 5: Definitely jonah coleman and then probably.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 12: Uh michael wilson after that but jonah coleman with a
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 12: bullet uh so you like you like coleman right like
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 12: i just i got a bunch of coleman questions one
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 12: please coleman hunter henry yeah.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 5: He's just bubbling up.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: R.J.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 5: Harvey's out, so Coleman's going to probably be the lead
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 5: running back in the passing game. He's probably going to
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 5: get more carries than J.K.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: Dobbins.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 5: He's been way more efficient, so Dobbins will figure in,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 5: but it's a great matchup, and you're probably looking at
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 5: 15-plus touches for.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: Coleman this week.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: We hear a lot from Auburn today. Greg from Auburn,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: one-point PPR. Chris Rodriguez, if Tootin doesn't play, or Ollie Gordon?
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go with Ollie Gordon because it's still
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 5: a tough matchup against Baltimore. This is interesting. Basil Tootin
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: sounds like he's going to play, but in the Liam
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 5: Cohen era, 27 players have gone all week without practicing,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 5: and all 27 were ruled out. This is the first
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 5: time someone who hasn't practiced hasn't been ruled out. So
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 5: I just think he might just be a decoy or limited,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 5: and Chris Rodriguez probably leads the way. That's my feeling.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: Seth from Auburn, also Auburn guy. Full PPR, Goff or Allen?
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 5: I like, those are both top three. I'm going to
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 5: go Josh Allen.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: All right, last one for me, Ash. Get it ready
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: there on your side. Frank from Renton, right on. Half PPR,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: Brees Hall or Derrick Henry, either worth a start this week?
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Derrick Henry is going to, I mean,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 5: Brees Hall is still going to give away carries to
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 5: Braylon Allen. Derrick Henry is going to own all the
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 5: touches against Jacksonville. It's a horrible matchup, but, you know,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 5: with Fagnano, I don't think they're going to air it out.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 5: They're going to try to get Derrick Henry going as
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 5: much as they possibly can.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: Ashley, fire away. What do you got?
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 13: We've got Aubrey from Ballard. Full PPR.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 5: She needs one of these.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 13: Devon Vele, Dobbins, Jordan Addison.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go with Jordan Addison with the quarterback
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 5: shakeup to Carson Wentz there. Let's... I think he's got
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 5: a slight edge over Devon Bailey.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 13: Matt in Tacoma needs two of the three, one running back.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: One flex. Ollie Gordon, Brees Hall, Ladd McConkie.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 5: Go Ladd McConkie. Like him, he had 80 yards last
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 5: week and got a good matchup. And it's Gordon. Who
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 5: was the other running back?
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: Brees Hall.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I have Gordon a couple spots ahead because, again,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 5: he dominates, touches there in that backfield, and Brees Hall
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 5: is probably splitting.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 13: All right, Rick from Sammamish. Is Christian McCaffrey going to play?
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 13: And I need one for Flex. Quinshawn Judkins or Parker Washington?
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 5: Ooh, is that a PPR?
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: He did not say.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 5: I really, again, like Quinshawn Judkins against that Saints defense
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 5: the most in fantasy. CMC is a big question mark.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 5: He says he thinks he can play, but it's against
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 5: Las Vegas. Maybe if he does play and they get
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 5: a lead, you can see Kalen Black, who's been pretty good,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 5: getting a decent chunk of carries. So you got to
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 5: follow that one. But I would not be shocked if
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 5: Kalen Black ends up having the most touches, whether CMC
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 5: sits or not.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 13: And Jim from Mount Lake Terrace, a trade possibility. Jonathan
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 13: Taylor from Malik Neighbors.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 5: I kind of going to lean. I don't know if
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 5: Jonathan Taylor gets dealt that he has kind of the
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 5: workload that he has now. I mean, there's a little
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 5: bit of an unknown there. I think we know what
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 5: neighbors is and he's getting 15 to 20 targets a
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 5: week right now. I, I'm going back.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 5: I'm going to lean Taylor just cause the premium on
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 5: running back. So you hear people coming in and talking this,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 5: like they're everybody's running back room is a.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: Struggle, you know?
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 5: So I'm going to go ahead and lean Jonathan Taylor,
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 5: but that's a, that's a, I would call that a
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 5: fair deal.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 13: And then our last one here, Jamie from Allen, who
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 13: actually texted in at 11.59, then re-texted in later.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: So thank you, Jamie.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 13: Do I play Caleb Williams or Jaden Daniels this week?
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 13: And then Braylon Allen or Woody Marks?
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go with Braylon Allen over Woody Marks.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 5: I think he's still going to have a decent role.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 5: And listen, Caleb Williams came into Seattle, one of the
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 5: toughest spots for a quarterback, and he fared just fine.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 5: So at home versus Tampa, who's also been a good defense, but...
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to sit Caleb Williams. I kind of
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 5: like that matchup better than Jaden Daniels against the Rams.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: Very good stuff. Chris from Tacoma. The trade question. We
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: always throw those in there. Justin Jefferson and Brendan Strange
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: for George Kittle.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 9: Oh, man.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 5: That's an overpay. I mean, Strange has been playing very well,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: so you might have to be taking a big hit
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 5: at tight end. You're also getting Justin Jefferson thrown in
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 5: with Carson Wentz coming at quarterback. Like, Carson Wentz is
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 5: not great, but he's He was better for Justin Jefferson
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 5: earlier in the year than Kyler Murray was.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: Perfect.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 5: I think that's way too strong.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: And finally.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 5: Did we get Jamie?
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we did.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: We did.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 6: Okay, good.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 5: We got Jamie.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: And the final one, Efren Herrera or Mark Mosley? That's
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: a good one from the 70s.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 5: Well, I just like the duality of Herrera, the ability
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 5: to go out in the passing game.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: Good call. Yeah, good call.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 6: There you go.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: Mark Mosley.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 5: Multi-dimension.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: Mark Mosley, toe puncher. I don't like that. That's old school.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: Too old school. Funson, if people didn't get their questions answered,
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: how can they do that?
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, come check out The Athletic. Head to the Fantasy
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 5: Football pages. Got a ton of stuff. Always do. Breaking
• 1:12:13

• 1:12:16

• 1:12:23
  Speaker 5: for the week, he's there for you as well.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, we do have confirmation. Aubrey is
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: a guy. Yes, I wrote back and said, my bad.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: Will not assume next time.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: I would have assumed as well. He said it happens
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: a lot. Yeah, I was thinking Brandon Aubrey, too, the
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: kicker for the Dallas. I know, that's what made me
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: think after. I was like, okay, yep, got it. Funson,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: good stuff. We'll talk to you next Thursday.
• 1:12:42
